Torn Indian Passport - Please help!!!!!!!!!!

[spass_login]

Hi,

One of my passport pages which does not have anything important on it, no visa nothing..is torn...

I am not sure if my passport is now considered as damaged passport and i should be applying for a new passport etc.

I had been to the indian consulate in NY, and they said they are OK with the condition of the passport, but they are not sure if I will have any problems with that passport in US and all..

Not sure what to do, whether to apply for a new passport under the criteria of Damaged passport or no..

Please help if possible.

Thanks a lot in advance

Torn Indian Passport -

Hi,

I think you should insist on getting a new Passport even though the Indian Passport officials are saying it "may be ok, but they can't be sure."

One of my friends has a similar situation where some of his pages got wet/distorted while he was at a Bar and he ended up applying for a Replacement Passport at the NY Consulate.
